1993 Honda Civic
One Piece Projectors
Custom Muffler
Tint
Sony CD Player
2 6's behind the back seats
Just broke 84,000 miles My mom bought this car when I started to 1st grade, she told me that someday it would be mine. I still thought i'd be drivin' a Ferrarri to school @ 16. Well I turned 16, she made me a deal on the car. So slowly but surely im paying it off. Up until 3 months ago it was still on the stock battery, but captain cool behind the keyboard left the light's on (Remember, my car doesn't have the dinger that sounds off when the lights are on and the door opens). The stock tires are still on the back. The tint is 9 years old, and only has 1 flaw. Needless to say this car used to be babbied beyond any other.
Whats next for the car: B18C Engine swap (engine out of the Integra GSR), Lower, rims, bolt on's galore, Buddy Club 2 kit, and more.

youre very lucky... thats such a nice model civic. 2 door sedan!
im assuming that your american, and the B18c is a good engine and all, but i have had previous experience turbochargin the standard engine with a customers car, Although i live in australia you should look at AVO turboworlds website wich in my opinion make the best and most reliable turbocharge upgrade for civics, im sure it could be shipped or sourced locally for you.

I think that you should make the engine swap.. If its the engine witch produces about 200 horsepowers? Then when you obviously want more power and when you have more money, you can turbocharge that B18C of yours, and get even more power out of it.. But thats jmo.. In Finland I wouldnt even imagine about turbocharging that kind of technique Here all the laws and regulations are soooooo tight..
And here goes a little off topic: Few examples about finnish laws about cars.. If you change more than 50 % of your cars original parts (engine, axels, brakes, seats, everything like that), there is no way you can get it street legal. You can raise your engine horsepowers legally maximum 20 % of the most powerful car of that model series. And the number of cylinders can maximum get 30 % higher than the original.. Things like that..

^^^ That sucks
The B18C makes about 170-180 Flywheel HP (maybe wheel, I haven't seen one with just a B18c putting that down). But those are some really strict laws. How do they classify what = what? like Engine swap = 25% or how does that work, it sounds saddly interesting.

Had kinda long trip from school to home But here goes: engine - 15 %, gearbox and clutch - 9 %, front axels 10 %(rear wheel drive), rear axels 10 %(rear wheel drive), front axels 14 % (front wheel drive), rear axel 6 %(front wheel drive), bumpers 1,2 % each, grille 1 %, fenders 1% each, front doors 2,5 % each, rear doors 2 % each, hood 2 %, rear seat 2 %, front seats 1,2 % each.. I think here are some of the most importants.. And these amounts are decided by government.. So this is how things go in Finland.. Sooooooooooooo tight..

Actually its not that loud. No silencer. I can only hear it in one RPM range like 2500 - 3500. Cruising on the highway, it sounds like it's stock. I trying to find away to get a recording of it. At idle it's dead quiet.
For the price I paid, it does an awesome job. As for the rice part, yes. It appears to be rice, but then again nobody I know can beat me.

I got a few recordings. But my phone won't link up right. Motorola V400. (if you have this phone and know how to do it, let me know! but I also snapped a few pics
Camera phones lack quality. But not bad.
